Limerick Laughs Contest Winner and Runners-Up for Jul/Aug 2011

The staff of the Post is pleased to announce the winner of the Jul/Aug Limerick Laughs Contest, Karen Davis of Camden, Arkansas! For her poem describing the picture to the left, Karen wins a cash prize—and our gratitude for a job well done. If you’d like to enter the Limerick Laughs Contest for our Nov/Dec issue, you can submit your limerick via the entry form here. Now, without further ado, here is Karen’s masterpiece:

His son got the watering can.

He tipped it and poured it.

Dad snuffled and snorted.

Mom laughed while the little boy ran.

Of course, Karen’s limerick wasn’t the only one we liked! Here are some of our favorite runners-up, in no particular order:

Hi, Beverly! Sorry you weren’t a big fan of the winning limerick from Jul/Aug. We received many excellent entries describing that particular picture, so we had a tough time choosing the best one. Please do keep submitting your poems, though. Who knows—maybe you’ll be the winner next time!
